Mumbai:  An octogenarian man, working as a security guard, was allegedly bludgeoned to death in the Powai area of Mumbai on Tuesday.

Both the accused and the victim were the residents of a chawl near an open plot in the area. The incident took place in the early hours of the day at JC Builders compound- where the deceased, 86-year-old Limbaji Kamble worked as a security guard.

The accused, Shripat Dengle, allegedly in an inebriated state, allegedly beat up the old man with sticks after the deceased didnโ€™t allow him to drink liquor, officials said.

The 58-year-old accused used to visit the compound- an open plot owned by a private builder near the Hiranandani Hospital in Powai.

On the day of the incident, Kamble denied Dengle to consume liquor, which irked the latter. Around 4 pm on Tuesday Kamble assaulted Dengle with wooden sticks leading to the old manโ€™s death.

โ€œShripat Dengle (56) allegedly hit his colleague with sticks and killed him on the spot following a brawl- which started after the old man denied the accused to consume liquor in an open plot on Monday,โ€ Mumbai Police said.

After hearing Kambleโ€™s screams some locals ran to the spot and called up the security guardโ€™s son, who rushed his father to the Rajawadi Hospital, where he was declared brought dead.

Mumbai Police have registered a case on the statement given by the family members of Kamble against Shripat Dengle.
